Anderson glanced at Kiki and said, "I'm not hungry. Eat by yourself."
Kiki's face drooped, and she rubbed her stomach, looking disappointed.
Joyce glanced at Luther, realizing that she couldn't refuse when Reuben suggested having dinner. After all, everyone deserved a celebration after surviving the ordeal.
Luther narrowed his eyes slightly. "Alright, there's a top-grade wagyu barbecue place nearby. It's only a five-minute walk. Let's go together."
Kiki jumped up happily. "That's great! I want to eat grilled meat. Is that okay? I'm so hungry."
She walked up and hooked her arm with Anderson's.
Anderson couldn't break free and looked at Joyce, saying, "Mommy..."
Joyce smiled. "Anderson, let's go eat together. Just bear with her a little. Kiki had a fright today."
Kiki nodded repeatedly. "I was so scared."
Anderson rolled his eyes, feeling helpless, and didn't say anything more.
Reuben bowed respectfully and thanked Luther. "Mr. Warner, please lead the way."
The group arrived at a high-end Japanese barbecue restaurant not far from the police station.
Luther requested the largest private room by the window. Inside, the room was exquisitely decorated in a Japanese style, with clean blue tatami mats and unique decorations in every corner.
The private room was independent with transparent floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides. Outside the windows, lights illuminated a small Japanese garden with white pebbles, green plants, and stone decorations, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Sitting in the private room felt like being in a Japanese garden.
Reuben made a phone call to Torrance on the way and briefly explained the situation. Then he called Grizela and told her to come immediately.
Upon arriving, everyone took their seats in the private room.
